New York biomass plant to cut emissions
In Rome, New York, a biomass plant has been given the go-ahead by New York State Public Service Commission.
The plant, generating 9.6MW, will provide Grississ Business and Technology Park with 75% of its electricity needs. The biomass refinery will save the park a total of $1.5 million (€1.1 million) in utility costs. Carbon emissions will also be reduced by 46,000 tonnes a year.
Costing $35 million, this plant will be funded with tax-free bonds distributed by the Oneida County Industrial Development Agency.
This development is also set to benefit the local forestry by $3.5 million, due to its harvesting of biomass for the plant.
